Tilisma Rosé (Rkatsiteli–Saperavi–Kakhuri Mtsvane) is a qvevri-made rosé from Kakheti, blending red and white Georgian varieties for a darker, more structured rosé style. Blend of 60% Saperavi, 30% Rkatsiteli, 10% Kakhuri Mtsvane, with a profile that leans toward red-berry fruit plus a citrus edge and a subtle savory note. Low-intervention, spontaneous fermentation cuvée, with unfiltered/unfined approach. Expect a rosé that sits closer to “gastronomic” than purely delicate.

Food pairings:
Niçoise-style salad (tuna, olives, tomato, egg): the salty + herbal Mediterranean profile matches a rosé that’s both fruity and mineral-leaning.
Grilled lamb kofta with yogurt + herbs: savory spice and grilled richness suit a darker rosé that has more structure than a pale, beach-style rosé.
Tomato & burrata (or caprese with basil): creamy + acidic contrasts work well with a red-berry/citrus-leaning style and keep the plate bright.
Meet Keti, the driving force behind Tilisma—one of Kakheti’s standout women winemakers. Her signature is a lighter, more lifted expression of Kakhetian tradition: wines that keep their authenticity, but feel brighter, cleaner, and more approachable. Rooted in Mukuzani, she lets the vineyard lead and uses time-honoured Georgian methods to build texture without heaviness. The result is Kakheti with finesse—characterful, honest, and unmistakably Tilisma
